In your country, is there more need for land to be left in its natural condition or is there more need for land to be developed for housing and industry? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Protecting the Land or Developing for Industry

The land on earth is a limited resource. As a result, there is often fierce debate between those who want to develop land for residential and industrial use and those who want to leave it in its natural state. In my opinion, there is a greater need to preserve some of the land in my country in its natural condition than to develop it.

One reason for my position is that we have already developed a great deal of the land in my country. Much of the remaining land is mountainous and unsuitable for development due to its instability. Furthermore, deforestation of the forests would damage the environment, causing landslides and other hazard. Another reason is that the largely urban population needs a natural retreat. Without such areas the people would lose contact with nature and perhaps their concern for the environment.

For the above reasons, I believe that my country should set aside more of the remaining undeveloped land as nature preserves. In this way we will be able to conserve our natural resources, protect the environment and ensure that future generations have the ability to experience nature.
